I allude to the great modifying power of large inland bodies of water upon it. I am indebted to my friend, Professor Forshey, for the interesting computation.

This does not include the alluvions of the smaller streams, and some, he admits, may have been reclaimed by levees. He further states, that of the whole alluvion, there is uncultivable more than half, say 12,000 square miles, including shallow lakes. You see, then, that about one eighth of the state is constantly under water, and that more than two fifths of it are subject to inundation, COMPARATIVE PRICES OF FLOUR AT NEW-ORLEANS ON THE FIRST OF EACH MONTH, FOR $10 25 a 10 508 50 a 9 00 11 25 a 11 37 a 8 25 & 8 75 Mess, 1849-50, 9 25 a 9.50 8 Prime, 1849 50. 8 25 a 8371 8 37 8 25 a 8 50 8.50 8.50 & 875 8.00 7 37 a 7 624 750 7.37 a a 7 50 7 37 7 75 a 8 00 825 a 850 9.50 12.00 February.
